#81 Stuck

In this cartoon there's a high security prison with the Copyright logo in which a character is kept. A bunch of Public Domain characters stand outside in sadness and shock. Pinnocchio says 'You're stuck there until WHEN?!'. Underneath there's text that reads 'At the end of 2022 Canadian copyright law added 20 years of 'copyright protection' after an author's death, in order to comply with and match the US, Europe and Australia. This brings the total duration of copyrightin Canada to Life of Author + 70 years.
